Tweet As the month rolls to a close, I think it’s a good time to re-iterate a few important things about what goes on here (and not just because I still haven’t put the polish on more in-depth content.) Semi-regularly, someone wanders through this site or hears me talking about the ideas I put forward… Continue reading What Works, Varies

Where do you go?
Tweet When you have questions about love and relationships, where do you go for answers? Who do you trust for advice? What makes you listen to or disregard advice that’s offered? Are you someone who people come to for relationship advice? Why do you think that is or isn’t? I ask because I’m curious. (And… Continue reading Where do you go?
The Lisa Principle: Everything I Ever Wanted*
Tweet Most of the definitive 80s movies I saw, I didn’t see until they hit cable or video. So, I was always at least a year behind the curve.

I was indoctrinated into… Continue reading Art Imitates Life, Life Returns the Favor

The Big Secret… Continue reading Now and Later: The Truth Behind the Myth of The One
Once Upon A Time: The Root of the Myth of The One
Tweet Once upon a time, before humans could crisscross the globe in a matter of hours and chat with one another instantaneously from anywhere on the planet, geography was a severe limitation. Where you were born was more or less where you’d grow up, reproduce, and die. Until the high days of seafaring exploration, someone… Continue reading Once Upon A Time: The Root of the Myth of The One
